Chapter 149 Britpop Rock

He was accidentally left behind and surrounded by a group of fanatical fans.

This matter changed whoever was in the band, and it might leave a serious psychological shadow.

Fortunately, James has excellent psychological quality and has always been tenacious in vitality.

When everyone panicked and went back to pick up their unlucky lead singer, they found out speechlessly...

In the video store, he has already fooled the fans and opened a temporary, a cappella, solo concert.

The green-eyed blonde lead singer was grinning with lipstick marks all over his face, and his clothes were still a little messy standing on the table used for the signing, while instructing the fans not to mess around, he also held a loudspeaker, which was very suitable for the occasion sang, "Why shut me out of heaven? Why shut me out of heaven? Am I—singing too loud?"

He can sing very high.

Although the music effect is not to be mentioned, the electric speaker is really loud...and, it is very handsome.

The fans around were almost overwhelmed with excitement.

With tears in their eyes, they raised their heads and sang the harmony together: "Why? Why? Why?"

James continued to sing affectionately: "Please don't close the door too tightly, I still want to try."

The fans chorused: "Try it! Try it! Try it!"

The blond lead singer jumped up and down on the table, swung his arms vigorously, and shouted again: "Why shut me out of heaven?"

The fans also shouted loudly: "Why! Why! Why!"

Okay!

A chorus of hundreds of people, let's go!

Lance, who was sitting in the car, stared at the lipstick marks through the glass of the car, and was silent for a long time.

Only then did he say in a complicated tone, "I had a lot of fun."

Even Baldwin couldn't help laughing, and jokingly said: "Don't bother him at all, let him finish twelve songs..."

The new bass player Sanderson looked at them blankly, then looked at the blond lead singer who was still swaying freely surrounded by fans, and thought for a while: "Oh, hello, what the hell is this What kind of unreliable band is here!"

But this matter really did not leave any shadow on James.

Although I was caught off guard before, I was still a little embarrassed when I was kissed by several girls and pulled my clothes.

But after all, no one dared to do anything to him in broad daylight!

A lot of girls are actually pulling him, pulling him away, but they don't dare to do anything.

Although there are many people, it is a bit scary

After all, if everyone rushes forward to kiss, there will be hundreds of people, that would be too scary.

Therefore, James still gave a serious condemnation to all his teammates: "You are so fucking good! I will go to the bathroom and come back, and you will be gone! If you run away without me, are you still brothers? You abandoned me so ruthlessly, and abandoned me among the wolves, you are all traitors! Traitors!"

Everyone knew they were wrong, and let him vent.

But a certain blond lead singer, who was so talkative, scolded for a full 10 minutes, and looked aggrieved and sad, which made people almost annoyed to death.

At this time, Baldwin, who was very clear about the character of his lead singer, said directly: "You can scold as much as you want, until you want to stop. But let me tell you in advance, don't want me to buy you some cider."

Lance also nodded beside him: "That's right, don't try to take the opportunity to drink. Although the last time I quit drinking, I didn't quit drinking quickly, but I quit for a while, and I will continue to keep it. Well, you can continue to scold."

Bassist Sanderson watched the scene in bewilderment, thinking, "What do you mean? What's going on?"

The blond lead singer, who was still filled with righteous indignation and accused of being abandoned, actually shut up.

He said with a displeased face: "Screw shit! If I don't have wine, I'll scold P, wasting my time."

Bassist Sanderson was completely speechless: "Who is this? You just pretended to be angry just now? You are so capable! Why don't you go to the film industry?"

On top of that, Lance seems to have heightened levels of fear for the fanatical fan base.

It was almost during this period, because of "the video store didn't plan well this time, the manpower was insufficient, and James accidentally fell down and was surrounded by fans", which caused him to no longer believe in the so-called Safety measures too.So, he spent his own money and hired a team of professional personal bodyguards. As long as he went out, he would let the group of people surround him, shouting and embracing him. The scene was extremely speechless.

Leaving aside those gossip tabloids that later wrote some nasty things...

Just in terms of life, it would be very annoying to have such a bunch of bodyguards come out.

Think about that scene!

When you want to chat and brag with your good friend, there are a bunch of strangers standing next to your good friend, and they are still very close... Immediately you don’t want to say anything anymore.

This incident even indirectly reduced the communication between Lance and his teammates a lot.

Often times, those bodyguards were like an invisible wall, completely dividing him from the others into two parts. No one wanted to talk to him other than the communication at work.

Lance probably doesn't care, though.

Even when there are no bodyguards, he rarely participates in chatting topics, and spends most of his time there studying music scores and lyrics.

On the other hand, out of some queer pity...

James was actually not that angry at Lance's behavior at first, he just thought: "Hey, I must have been frightened that day, right? After a while, the matter calms down, so I'll try to persuade him."

But then, another thing happened.

Under normal circumstances, when the staff who are familiar with the Planetary Band book a hotel, they will habitually book a room for Lance and James, because in the early years, the two always used the excuse of "creating music together" to live in the hotel. Together.

But with the popularity of the album, the band has to participate in more and more activities for publicity.

Sometimes the event organizer will be responsible for booking the hotel, but according to the current specifications of the band, no one will book any cheap double room for them, it must be a room for one person.

Just recently, there was an event where I encountered such a situation.

You know, unless you plan to come out publicly, there are some things you can do but not say.

Therefore, when James took over the room card, he definitely couldn't say 'Lance and I share the same bed, this room is too much, so let's return it'.

He simply accepted the room card.

But when it was time to go to bed at night, Dian Dian ran to find Lance.

They've done this several times before...

As a result, this time, before entering Lance's room, he was blocked by two bodyguards he hired.

"What do you mean?"

James couldn't help laughing angrily: "Do I look like some dangerous element?"

"Mr. Winfield is in the bath."

The bodyguard said politely and dutifully: "If you need to find him, please come back in 10 minutes."

James was stunned for three seconds.

But he didn't want to quarrel with the bodyguards in the hotel corridor, so he held his temper and discussed in a friendly voice: "It's okay to take a shower, I've seen him naked several times."

The expressions of the two bodyguards couldn't help becoming weird.

But they dutifully said, "No."

"I've seen it before! I even know what he looks like!" James jumped angrily.

Bodyguards: "...Sorry, it still doesn't work."

James walked away angrily.

Two minutes later, he threw stones downstairs and smashed all the glass in Lance's room.

Run away after smashing.

Cool!

Of course, this kind of thing can't be hidden.

Firstly, he swaggered to smash it; secondly, the hotel also had all kinds of surveillance.

The end result is that James stands aside and smokes with indifference...

Lance signed the check expressionlessly and paid the compensation. At the same time, he had to tell the bodyguard not to stop this dangerous person in the future.

But James was not at all happy about the special treatment.

He asked directly: "Can't you let these bodyguards stop following you every day? Is it necessary? Are we that dangerous?"

Lance refused without hesitation: "I don't want to be like you. I don't like being touched, I don't like being kissed by someone, and I don't like being ripped off."

Although there seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said, James always felt that there was something in his words, or that there was something sour in his words?

Anyway, the dispute over the bodyguards was settled...

But in any case, it made people lose interest in bed.

Later, James rarely wrote angrily in his diary: [I have never taken myself seriously, but Lance likes to take himself seriously. ]

If you ignore the little inconsistencies...

The Planetary Band during this period was still very successful.

After the album came out, the Planet band dominated the headlines of all music news.

More and more eyes focused on this band, and the media began to call them "the hope of reviving British music" more and more frequently in their reports.

In fact, from the day the album was released, began to officially struggle on the sales charts.

At this time, the best-selling albums on the original charts were almost all grunge-style, and the existence of could be said to have sprung up suddenly.

It was almost like a mountaineering exercise.

Everyone watched it climb up unswervingly all the way, gradually approaching the peak step by step.

Even at this time, grunge is still firmly occupying the mainstream market.

However, managed to make a living out of it by relying on its extremely high music quality. One week, it even won the "Best Album of the Week" award, just like the theme of "Hope Is Eternal" it sang. , let other bands in the British music scene see a glimmer of hope: even if they don't make grunge music, they can still achieve something by doing British music seriously.

This allowed Planet to surpass all contemporaries overnight.

There is no doubt that they have gradually become a new generation of leaders in the pop music scene.

Under their leadership, more and more bands have re-invested in the exploration of British music...

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the era of Britpop (Britpop) is finally coming.
